sjk2008 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Shez did say he wanted to get some in very early. Seen us linked with Price, Dawson and O'Shea. Cannot see us attracting any of those, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCH was four years ago and Smith six years though; since then we seem to have made a point of leaving it late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayItLivo Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Shez generally didn't wait too long after the season ended to make signings the first time he was here. Lee and Fleming both signed in May iirc Edited May 15, 2017 by PlayItLivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamoafc Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Dawson has signed for bury on a 3 year deal. So big wages being spent by them. Will just wait for it all to go wrong buckets at the ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a wage cap you know! With lower crowds and more outgoings than us it's not feasible. Vaughan Beckford and Dawson will be on big wages along with Pope and others on decent contracts it's coming I'm telling you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be going shit or bust next season for sure. They announced a loss of £2.5M for the last financial year and have a wage bill of £4M before this weeks signings (obviously some players will be leaving this summer but...) that has to be one of the higher wage bills in L1! And somehow they still managed to finish below us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horlicks Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 According to the Bury website all three relegated Championship clubs were interested in Dawson so if they are paying more money than Blackburn and Wigan they must have really chucked the cash at him.

deyres42 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 3 year contract probably more attractive at his age than a few extra quid on a shorter deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anything been reported about the rates on their current outstanding loans? https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/00053268/charges I don't think the biggest issue here is the loans that Bury FC have been taking out. If those were getting out of hand they'd be in breach of FFP and the football league wouldn't allow them to continue on this spending spree. The main issue is the loans their owner is taking out in the names of his network of companies, which are secured against the ground and gifted to the football club. By doing it this way he avoids the FFP restrictions. I don't think anyone would argue that the football club alone could afford to pay the wages it pays from it's income. The issue is that he can't currently afford this. If he could he wouldn't have to borrow the money at extortionate rates of interest. So he's gambling that either Bury get promoted quickly or his businesses make a lot of money pretty quickly. One or both might happen, but if they don't he's in trouble and the ground will get repossessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand he could be setting up satellite companies to direct money out of the football club...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Centre back. Has been linked in the past with Reading, Sheffield United and Wigan. Wycombe reportedly turned down a bid for him from Fleetwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we're allowing our name to be associated with somebody as a lever to get Wilson and Edmondson signed up without an increase on the first offer.
